1 Session 7: The Recovery Process Note that some are my own photos, comments, and opinions - Not necessary reflecting WB GFDRR s views Yuichi Ono Professor, International and Regional Cooperation Office Disaster Information Management and Public Collaboration Division International Research Institute of Disaster Science Tohoku University, Japan
Significant progress in DRR always follows large disasters in the process of recovery efforts More budget and societal supports and political supports Better coordination and communication Disaster Progress Capacity Resiliency In DRR New technologies New disaster acts Disaster Disaster Disaster Time 2
Importance of developing sound disaster statistics Disaster statistics based on official sources It is a governance issue --- local governments central government Benefits for local governments need to be identified clearly - Annual white paper based on such statistics submitted to politicians/decision makers and takers would generate new policies - Very useful for insurance scheme - Good basis for cost-benefit analysis - Good basis for investment (including foreign assistance) Very useful to setting global targets on DRR --- post HFA discussion --- baseline data and measures to progress in DRR 3
